One of the guys in Germany with his family. This is the owner of the old hen still racing, this season will be her 10th year.
I think this photo was taken to promote the family sport, which i feel is important.
The family way.
Great photo!
I reckon the owner of that hen deserves much of the credit for that hen racing for so many seasons. He has obviously managed her and cared for her very well. He cannot be one of the " they have to go" brigade, who send everything regardless and shrug their shoulders when they fail to return.
It's a good trainer who can keep them going for years.

That being said, I have learned that they have to be good pigeons from the start. The soft attitude that a moderate pigeon might be better next year is very often a mistake.Devo1956 wrote: ↑Wed Apr 24, 2024 12:21 amYes i agree with you Murray, he has invited me to his uncles breeding lofts.

If you have a yearling that is not up to much, you can be fairly certain that next year he will be a two year old that isn't up to much.
They seem to get a year older, not a year better.....
